    make sure you install komboster with afterburner so you can test for stability.

    So i ran Komboster after installing afterburner, basically Average on default GPU was 32 FPS, and Fully overclocekd and everything it was 33 FPS, so for the sake of safety and what not i am jsut going to keep it normal.
